IMPROVEMENT IN WAGON-SEAT LOCKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 191,896, dated J une 12, 1877; application filed April 30, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. STONE, of Salisbury Mills, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Wagon-Seat Holder, of which the following is a specification Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved holder. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 00 w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a modified form of my improvement.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing, A is the edge of a wagonbox, to which is attached a strip of band-iron, a. B is the riser, that supports the end of the wagon-seat, and O is a right-angled plate attached to the lower edge of the riser, and provided with a nib, b, thathooks over the edge of the strip a. A plate, D, having the nib c, is drilled and placed on the stud d, that projects from the right-angled plate G, and the thumbscrew E passes through the plate D into the plate 0, where it is swiveled, so that it may revolvein the said plate, but cannot move lengthwise. The nib c catches under the strip a, the wood of the wagon-box being cut away to form a groove, in which the said nib may slide. By turning the thumb-screw E in one direction the nib c, which is beveled, is made to clamp the strip a. By turning the screw in the opposite direction the device is loosened, when the seat may be moved and clamped in any desired position. i

In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the nib b on the right-angled plate 0 is dispensed with, and it is provided with a dowel-pin, e, which is received by holes drilled in the strip a.

The advantage claimed for my improvement is, that the seat may be readily moved from one position to another on the wagon-body, and may be securely clamped.

Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patcut- A wagon-seat lock provided with the beveled nib c, on the lower end of swiveled plate D, the same being arranged to enter a groove in the side board A, and catch under the iron strip a, as shown and described.
